Skype for Web now lets you make calls on any mobile phone or landline

Now you can call mobile phones and landlines directly from Skype for
Web using Skype credits or subscriptions, Microsoft officially confirmed
in a blog post. To access the feature, users can go to Skype.com or
web.skype.com and sign in and connect. The company says that the feature
is essentially geared towards users who prefer using the service in a
web browser.
“We’ve updated Skype for Web so you can now save money on your phone
calls to mobile phones and landlines. All you need is a little Skype
credit or a subscription to start making affordable international calls
from Skype. Once you’ve signed in to Skype for Web, simply click on the
call phones tab, select your destination, dial the number you’d like to
call and then hit the call button,” the company said in a blog post.

Skype update just made it easier to make calls to any phone or landline.

Besides, Skyp’e Web client also gets updated with the ability to
watch YouTube videos directly from the app using a video link. Hence
from this point on, when someone shares a link to a YouTube video in a
Skype conversation, the app will automatically embed the video in the
page doing away the need to switch over to a new tab or window, as
‘it’ll instantly play directly in Skype.’
Furthermore, Skype users from now on will be able to chat with
non-Skype users via a “unique conversation URL”. Put simply, you can
create a unique URL for a conversation which can be shared with anyone
who doesn’t have a Skype account.
Finally, Skype has added a new notifications feature which will show
up even if you’re in another browser tab or another app, as long as
you’re signed into Skype for Web.

Microsoft has been constantly adding multiple updates for Skype such
as group video calling for everyone, which was earlier only available on
Skype for Business. The Redmond giant has also rolled out the Skype
Translator tool for its desktop app, which enables real-time translation
between English and a number of the world’s other most spoken
languages.
